Sacred Trample

After absorbing the Sacred Invocation Sacred Left Leg Bone, Shao Zhuang went to sleep, thoroughly satisfied.

Although it was already late at night, he still had three or four hours left to sleep.

Today, the Heavenly Curtain would reveal Ye Xishui. That was going to be an enormous bombshell.

It would connect perfectly with Mu En's monologue and Long Xiaoyao's monologue from yesterday, creating a shocking reversal after reversal.

Precisely because of that, Shao Zhuang needed to rest well and conserve his energy so he could watch the reactions of the audience and the world.

Time flashed by, and before long, dawn arrived.

Shao Zhuang got up, washed up, and prepared to head out for breakfast.

He was quite curious about the three meals Shrek Academy had arranged for him.

What kind of food could possibly match a dormitory on the second floor of Sea God Pavilion?

As Shao Zhuang entered the clearly makeshift little dining room on the same floor, a middle-aged beauty in a spotless white robe and chef's hat pushed a dining cart inside, as though this had all been rehearsed beforehand.

Naturally, Shao Zhuang, who was familiar with the original story, knew who she was.

Lu Xiaoxiao, the academy's number one nutritionist.

When Huo Yuhao and He Caitou had begun their extreme training in the original story, she had been the one to teach them how to eat properly.

As a result, Shao Zhuang became even more expectant.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Xiaoxiao, and I am the academy's number one nutritionist. From now on, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I will personally guide your dietary supplements and be responsible for your breakfast and regular meals."

Lu Xiaoxiao introduced herself to Shao Zhuang and explained her duties.

She appeared exceptionally respectful toward him.

Although Shao Zhuang had yet to possess the identities and achievements revealed by the Heavenly Curtain, no one dared underestimate him.

Especially in the eyes of Shrek Academy's Elders and teachers, Shao Zhuang was practically the future Sea God Pavilion Master.

Thus, when facing Shao Zhuang, they naturally treated him extremely well in order to leave a favorable impression on him.

"This is your first dish this morning: Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin."

With that, Lu Xiaoxiao took out a small covered teacup from the dining cart and placed it before Shao Zhuang.

"Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin is an exceptionally rare and special seafood. The instant it is caught, specialists preserve it using special methods and send it to the academy by the fastest means possible."

As Lu Xiaoxiao introduced the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin, Shao Zhuang lifted the lid of the teacup.

Unlike the original story, where Huo Yuhao and He Caitou had been hit by a powerful fishy stench, Shao Zhuang instead caught a fresh, clean aroma.

Its only similarity to the dietary supplement from the original story was probably that the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin was still alive.

"To ensure that the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin does not lose its nutrients, it must be eaten raw."

"However, to give you a better experience, a specialized chef has prepared it, removing its original fishy odor and complementing it with seasonings."

"Without affecting its nutritional value, it also has a better flavor and texture..."

Apparently noticing Shao Zhuang's doubts, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately explained.

Compared with the treatment Huo Yuhao and He Caitou had received in the original story, it was truly the difference between heaven and earth.

That was only natural. The future accomplishments Shao Zhuang displayed at this point made him far more important than Huo Yuhao and He Caitou had been during that period in the original story.

That was precisely why this dietary supplement was treated so differently.

This is so good?!

The moment the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin entered his mouth, it wriggled, yet it was like an incomparably bouncy jelly—and extremely delicious besides.

The Soul Master responsible for preparing the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin was truly remarkable. Their skill was exceptional.

"For us human Soul Masters, consuming Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin can nourish the soul and enhance Spiritual Power and comprehension. It can relieve and ward off mental fatigue while also making us smarter."

While Shao Zhuang ate, Lu Xiaoxiao introduced the effects of the dish.

After he finished the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin, she picked up the second dish and set it before him.

Then, she repeated the same process as before.

"This second dish is called Peony Lobster..." As she spoke, Lu Xiaoxiao produced a silver dining knife and prepared exceptionally fresh sashimi right before him.

It could only be said that Shao Zhuang enjoyed this dietary supplement to the fullest.

Once breakfast was over, Lu Xiaoxiao pushed the dining cart away.

Shao Zhuang, meanwhile, planned to go outside and stretch his body. It was the perfect chance to test the soul skill attached to the Sacred Invocation Sacred Left Leg Bone.

In fact, after finishing the absorption last night, he had wanted to try it immediately.

However, his room was not suitable for using it, and making too much noise would not have been ideal either.

That was why he had waited until the next day to experience it.

"Junior Disciple Brother, how was your night? Did absorbing the soul bone help you complete your Martial Soul Evolution?"

Just as Shao Zhuang rose to his feet, Yan Shaozhe appeared before him as though he had timed it perfectly.

There was every reason to suspect that he had been waiting outside specifically for him.

The moment they met, Yan Shaozhe impatiently asked about what had happened last night.

For safety and privacy, every room in Sea God Pavilion had its own special formation.

Therefore, even though Yan Shaozhe had been upstairs protecting his teacher and was so close by, he could not sense the slightest movement from Shao Zhuang's room.

"It evolved, but not completely," Shao Zhuang briefly explained what had happened last night.

"That's good news, Junior Disciple Brother. You can complete your Martial Soul Evolution ahead of time, and this gap is perfect for relaxing and resting."

After learning that Shao Zhuang's Martial Soul would fully evolve before long, Yan Shaozhe was in high spirits.

As long as it could truly evolve, even waiting a few extra days would be an utterly trivial matter.

Moreover, compared to what had happened in the Heavenly Curtain, the date of the completed evolution had been brought forward considerably.

"So what are you planning to do next, Junior Disciple Brother? Do you need Senior Brother to show you around Shrek Academy?"

Very soon, Yan Shaozhe offered Shao Zhuang a suitable suggestion, appearing extremely enthusiastic.

"Senior Brother, I plan to first go outside and test the soul skill attached to the soul bone, then take a look around the academy."

Shao Zhuang did not refuse Yan Shaozhe's suggestion.

After all, this would also let him observe everyone else's reactions when the Heavenly Curtain began its revelation.

Especially Yan Shaozhe, given his special identity.

Shao Zhuang very much wanted to see what Yan Shaozhe's reaction would be once he learned his true identity.

"Fine, then let's go."

With that, Yan Shaozhe and Shao Zhuang left Sea God Pavilion together.
